What type of foundation brush is most suitable for cream foundation?

A flat foundation brush is particularly suitable for cream foundation due to its design and the way it applies product. The flat head allows for an even spread of cream, which can often be thicker than liquid foundations. This type of brush facilitates a smooth application, ensuring that the product lays down evenly across the skin without leaving streaks or lines. Its edges also allow for precise application around the contours of the face, such as along the nose and around the eyes, providing a polished finish.

While the other brushes serve specific purposes, they may not apply cream foundation as effectively. For instance, an angled brush is typically designed for precision areas, like contouring, but it does not cover large areas efficiently. Buffing brushes are excellent for blending products seamlessly but may absorb more product than necessary, leading to less control over application. Stippling brushes create a more airbrushed finish and are often used for liquid foundations but may not provide the solid coverage desired with cream formulations.
